And so with this we conclude as a conclusion first promise to hold all the rules and pledges and then the medal offering and then the dedication of merits.

[03:38]

Amen. On behalf of the audience in the room, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for coming to visit here in Poland.

[05:39]

And also, we appreciate very much your last four days teaching, which is a great benefit for all of us here in Poland. as well as worldwide. And this is kind of beginning time, and this is, for the Fujian Church's children, one of the, I think, best programs we had here because of our director and our members. And His Holiness, we are requesting you to come back again here in Oregon and give us more teachings, even if we don't have very much sunshine. Your teaching and your initiation is as much as sunshine for us.

[06:47]

And thank you very much. And also I'd like to take a little opportunity to express, on behalf of the audience, to our director, Solomon. He's tireless and he's skillful organizing the center and the program. And also, He had so much knowledge in the Western knowledge. Of course, he was born and raised over here. And then he went to India and studied Sanskrit, Tibetan, and the tremendous knowledge he got from it. And now he's starting to practice his knowledge to benefit for us.

[07:49]

So we appreciate very much for your skill and direction and the help for us. And we love you and we support your tremendous work for the benefits for others. And I'm sure His Holiness will be very happy for your work which you are doing for us. And also I'd like to take opportunity to appreciate our members of the UJMJ, their tethering, their skill, their geometry, and their courage, which is very enlightened for all of us to do this kind of project. As you all know, that the membership and their skill, membership's skill for this tremendous good program, which is benefits all of us in the future.

[08:57]

And also I'd like to take opportunity to thank you for all the friends of Dharma Friends, which is we are all become as a Dharma Friend. And also, we are now disciples of His Holiness the Sadya Tindu. And I really don't need to take too much time, but I'd like a few words to say His Holiness is the one of the most traditional Tibetan lineage holder and the Sadya lineage holder. And historically, such a lineage is a tremendous benefit for the Tibetans for many years. And His Holiness is very fortunate, still young, and he has all the lineage, all the skill, and all the courage.

[10:03]

So I see in the future there is a great opportunity for us true practice, as he's calling it, as Dhamma practice, which is beneficial for not only on its own, but all the sentient beings. And now, it's kind of up to us how we're going to practice. We got all the initiations, which charity for the compassion, and for the power, and for the wisdom. And we had a little discussion before he was born here, what initiative would be beneficial for us as a beginner. I feel some of the, I'm sure advanced, but for us kind of beginners. So we discussed ,, you know, His Holiness has one of the highest initiation holders.

[11:05]

But we feel first that the ,, and ,, and is the most profound and the most suitable for our level is time. I'm sure in the future, if we do practice right, if we do participate, I'm sure we will get higher initiation from His Holiness, since I always say His Holiness is still young, and His compassion is always just like a sunshine. So His hook and the rings, the hook is there, but the ring has to be nice and round. So that's kind of my thing. And I like, you know, kind of feel like she's here always with my Thelma friends. And I like to take the opportunity for the Tibetan community They provided tremendous dishes, which His Holiness enjoyed very much.

[12:13]

And also on turrets, very much, because we had a lot of discussions with the food during the last three days. They said, don't want to eat too much, because it can affect life. While we are insisting them, well... It's okay, you know, get fed once a while is not a bad idea. So they had a good time too. And so we, our connection has begun very well, very satisfied, and His Holiness, his expression, and he is very enjoy here, we don't have a sunshine. And because after all we have a little talk with His Holiness, he said, India, where he lives right now, has too many sunshines. Too much sunshine. So we, you know, our director tells His Holiness, His Holiness, this is part of our offering for the cloud. So we had a good time and good learning and a good memory for all of us.

[13:21]

So bottom of our heart and things the program success is that all of you and I hope everybody will do practice individually as a group if like to practice as a group. UD and Georgia Children's Link is already organized, and we have a well-skilled membership, and a well-skilled director, and the brochures, and the telephone numbers, and everything around there. At times, we meet once a week or twice a week, all together down there, from time to time, and we hope you people visit us and participate in us, and let's make some more. Thank you very much for coming and giving us tremendous teaching. No, no, no.

[23:41]

Having raised us through your kindness, great, let's fly in all the voice and mind I pray. In immortal life's rosary wheel, set an eye on granting deathlessness. Reassembled, granted in deathlessness, granted in the law of immortal life. But there was no power but the Son of God. His blood and power spread in the world. And yet His wounds are thin, and His hands are void. Not a single breath of the Holy Word speaks their mind. Now I'm going to find my love, come to the ground, and bring her there and show her to the world.

[24:48]

Oh, now I'm going to find my love, come to the ground, and bring her there and show her to the world. You have made that claim again, that you feel the greatest of them all, and that you stand up for the God who won over the world. You are worthy of your justice. Yet you shall be directed not in the power of a stone, nor the power of a sword, but in the blood of the Son, the blood of the Lamb, and the blood of the Holy Spirit, and the blood of the Holy Spirit. So I think we're going to have to see if this is true or not. I'm not going to do it. For all things I have spoken on the word of the Lord, and I am going to speak on the word of the Lord.

[26:09]

The word of the Lord is the word of God. The word of God is the word of God. Good Lord, you've been waiting for me, sir. I've been waiting for you. I've been waiting for you. But I never thought we were out there, the joyless ones, that on the bluest night on Manshut Street, we would come and get your deeds by a footman's throw. bringing what my Teacher is proclaiming to me, bringing what my Teacher takes with His lives, bringing that the others will know and understand, not to part from the animal that is being pleased.

[27:22]

May they have good, lavish lives and money. May they hold to their teachings, serve their life. May they be in my authority, servitude, So, I would like to thank you very much for all of you. been very kind and to, and especially the members, the president and the members of the Uyghur Church, we have worked very hard in arranging my trip here in Portland.

[28:24]

And it has been a great joy to be able to visit this beautiful city and have a chance to many people who are interested, sincere and very interested in the teachings of the Buddha. And it is a great joy for me to share that whatever little knowledge that I have the Buddha's teaching for the last few days to be with you and to share with you. As I many of times that as I have indicated that in our life we have many things to do but there's no more important than the Dharma practice. Dharma practice is the only thing that gives us the real comforts and the real peace, and it is the only way to solve our sufferings.

[29:33]

And so therefore, that when we have all the right conditions, that it is very important to practice it. In the past, in India, as well as in Tibet and many countries, there are many, many great masters who have, through the same kind of teaching, the teachings that we practice now, the deities that we practice now, the meditations that we do now through the same kind of practice but with a great diligence and that they have succeed in attaining the higher realization and gain the real insight wisdom through which that they have clear of all those curations and gain the real insight, wisdom through which that they have benefited countless sentient beings.

[30:51]

And so now also if we practice it, there's no reason that we also be able to gain such realizations. Because in the beginning, many of these great masters also are just like us, ordinary persons. But through the great diligence and the efforts, they've been able to remove all forms of obscurations. And then came the insight of wisdom and got very great realizations so that not only they themselves are permanently free from the from all forms of obscuration, but gain so much wisdom that they can benefit with so many sentient beings. So we also, since we have all the right conditions, we have the seed, we have the right conditions, we have the teaching, when everything,

[32:02]

then there's no reason that we will also obtain such a thing. So when we have such an opportunity, when we have to do such a goal, such an opportunity, that we do not, we lose this instead that we cling to the ordinary actions we caught up in the the worldly activities that do not have much benefit and so therefore by coating up in these ordinary actions and if we lose the higher goal, if we lose the higher opportunity then that is the great loss that no one can replace and so therefore It is a very joy to see that so many people are interested in the Buddha's teaching.

[33:07]

And I have been to the several times here in the West. And every time that I see that there's improvements in many ways. And so therefore, it is a great joy to see. And I can see that it is already a great beginning. And so now with this beginning that we mature, bring up together with the diligence and sincere faith and diligence, and then just like when you have the seed and the right conditions, then there is no reason that it will ripen in due course, in due course, a full fruit. It will not bear the full fruit. And so therefore, first of all, I would like to request everyone who received the teachings from me to practice dharma very diligently.

[34:10]

When you practice dharma, there are basic structures. laid down by the great masters that are common to all the traditions, the Hinayana, Mahayana, and the Vajrayana. All of these, the first thing is to be a good moral conduct. Just like the earth is the base for all the animate and inanimate objects, Similarly, the base for all the quality is the good moral conduct. Without the good moral conduct, one could not gain the higher qualities. And so, therefore, the good moral conduct, whatever vows that one has received, For instance, for most lay people, since here is mostly lay people, that the basic rule is to have a sincere devotion and faith in the Thibodian, and then to keep the five precepts.

[35:15]

That is common to all, so this is very important, to keep the five precepts. and to abstain in a more elaborate way is that is to abstain from the ten non-virtuous deeds and to practice, in other words, to practice the ten virtuous deeds And that is the very basic thing. When you enroll on a spiritual path, the very first thing is to practice this. And then based on this, based on the good moral conduct, is the studying, contemplation, and the meditation that needs to equally lead. If we devote the full time only on study, that is also not right. But if you devote the full time only on the contemplation and only on one side, it is not right. First thing is to study.

[36:16]

We need to divide the time equally on the study. Without study, we can't meditate. In order to practice Dharma, one must know first what one is going to practice. And after studying, if we spend the full time on studying, that is also not right because the main thing after studying what we are going to do is to meditate. Because only through the meditation that we can eliminate the defilements and awakening the inner wisdom. And so that the study is first, and what we study, whatever the knowledge that one gained, then to put that into the actions in the day-to-day's life, in everyday life, within our 24-hour daytime life, that we could practice

[37:22]

that whatever little knowledge that one has that we could put into the practice, then the purpose of giving the teaching has been fulfilled. Otherwise, when the lamas comes, and the teachers comes, and sometimes, and occasionally, that if one practices, receives many teachings, but in day-to-day's life, Every day life, if you just remain in the same ordinary life, then the purpose of the giving teaching is not fulfilled. And the main purpose of giving the teaching is to tame our mind. The Lord Buddha gave 84,000... pile of teachings and this is to all of them are to tame our mind our mind that which is so much involved with the defilements which is so easy to involve with the defilements because that it being associated with the defilements from the beginning last time so therefore that it is very difficult to eliminate these defilements

[38:44]

And so that by applying in everyday life that if after receiving the teaching, after doing the practice, that if there is a change, if there is a change that there's less defilements, lesser confusion, the lesser anxiety, and the more calm and more peace and more relaxation and the more uh develops the more quality side of the mind like loving kindness and the compassion and then the the teaching is really working so therefore to practice to emphasize on the practice after receiving the teaching is very very important and it is just like receiving the empowerment and the teaching is like a planting a seed. If we plant the seed and did not care then even if it is at the right spot it will not grow or even if it grows it will not grow properly.

[39:58]

To grow the properly to bear the fruits, the good fruits that it needs continuous care and efforts. So after receiving this teaching that everybody must work hard and to work, to do what, to do the continued practice the community is also very important. That if you want just one person is difficult so the community is very important and because when you have the community then one can discuss and one can experience the whole purpose of taking refuge in the Sangha is to share the experience and to rely on help on each other and so therefore the community is very important and those who are interested here

[41:01]

Here is the center, the who started by his eminence is one of the very few great masters who possess the wisdom of not only through the study, but the real inner wisdom. The real inner wisdom through the meditation and obtain the very high realizations. Not only well known in our tradition, but he is also well known in all the Tibetan traditions. All the great masters have taken him as their guru and received the profound teachings in every, most lineages. And I myself, one of my most important root gurus, from whom I have received all the collection of tantra, which contains all the major empowerment of not only our tradition, but the traditions of all the Tibetan Buddhism.

[42:23]

And so therefore he is very great and so when he came here last year that it was the right, the proper time, the proper place. And with the interdependent originations that Rinpoche been able to establish the center here, we can . And it has many good members, and especially a very good scholar. And the skillful means like Sonamla, who have been very old friend of mine, and actually through his that I learned little English. All the English that I have spoken is through his efforts. So the one who has the real knowledge of the old, the required knowledge, of the Sanskrit, Tibetan, and English also.

[43:27]

Therefore, it has the very good opportunity so those who are interested can participate in this and so that the Dharma could continue flourish through one's own practice as well as for the practice for the benefit of wider audience. So if we could do this, then of course that is the most I will be very, very happy to see. And I will also pray that all of you to have a real success in your worldly life and as well as in your spiritual life. for your own practice as well as the noble task of spreading the Buddha's teaching throughout the United States.

[44:30]

So with this now I conclude and may the blessings of the Lord Buddha and his teaching and the Sangha be with you now and always. Thank you. And thanks to the world for your participation and friendship. We're very happy to come together and meet all of you on this auspicious occasion. We look forward to the continued contact and friendship in the future. I have a few brief announcements to make before we conclude one's program. I'd like to draw your attention again to the information that I'm aware has been laid out on the tables surrounding the room.

[45:41]

There you will find many useful books and other Dharma objects that would be helpful to you and your own practice. I am very true to this as much time as you might today. And listen to me very carefully, keeping in mind also that your support will be very meaningful and very efficient to those who would be identified per se, that is to say, for every chance of killing a centurion. I trust some of the players from the bookstore have looked at him. They're all very used to idols. I couldn't care less. He was, you know, sometimes believing in them. I hope so.

[46:45]

I'd like to.
